In May, for our “Ask a Therapist” webinar series, we talked about Managing Alcohol Use with special guests!

Let’s face it: some of us have developed unhealthy habits during the pandemic and you’re not alone. Join us as we discuss ways to let go of alcohol use to cope with negative emotions and improve your relationship with alcohol.If you missed our webinar, you can watch the recording below to find out about:
